There are to many alpha testers because, like for every alpha product, you will need more than just some click-and-try experiance on a system. For your case: if sax2 is broken, then there is always the workaround to fix xorg.conf in an appropriate way. File a bug report against sax2, fix xorg.conf (probably add the broken and fixed one, together with a lot of hwinfo stuff to the report) and happily work ever after. Or just find a Mirror that is synching less often. This might prove difficult, as there already are not to many mirrors that carry factory at all.

Hi, - factory is - I would say - interesting at the moment, many failing packages are causing a huge dependency problem as we updated glibc, perl and networkmanager - kde 4.0.0 got integrated - glibc 2.7 - perl 5.10 - networkmanager 0.7 - pine is dropped, alpine replaces it now - I don't see alpha1 in danger atm, but it might come later due to the delay the crashed download.o.o caused Greetings, Stephan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, This thing is what is very disturbing to me: If there are broken pkgs in factory, how/where to get the previous versions of such packages? There must be a place where previous pkgs can be found? (Maybe it sounds stupid, but cann't there be created an url, that is synced a few days later? (cron planned?) ( i refuse to believe one has to have two versions of factory around, just to be able to restore a useable state?, or does one?) - -- Have a nice day, M9.

Any chance of including in 11.0? It would be much better and more up-to-date to be able to print to pdf rather than ps which is becoming a rarity. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

[opensuse-factory] status report distribution week 5
by Stephan Kulow 05 Feb '08

Hi, It's alpha week again - that's when Factory is the most broken :) - we still have ~70 build failures - 68 on x86_64 - 76 on ppc - ppc's issue with libqt4 was resolved, so ppc might be in a better shape with alpha2, but we could not yet test it - Installation was reworked even more - alpha2 will be a big test case. I hope to finish a set of screenshots _before_ the news site do :) - there was heavy work on updating GNOME towards 2.20 and KDE4 towards 4.01 - sax2 is still flacky on live images - we hope to get that ironed out before alpha2, so we have live CDs too (that might only fit on DVDs for now though) - the x86_64 CDs of both KDE and GNOME will no longer carry 32bit packages supporting 32bit plugins. It was just no longer possible to support 700MB. - I reworked the patterns (once more) for 11.0, which will have two pretty dramatic consequences: * KDE4 will be the default KDE (with an option to revert that back to KDE3 when it turns out to be just too much pain) * the DVD5 does not have any non-oss software on it - this will allow for a simplified EULA - the non-oss medium will continue to have the old EULA then Greetings, Stephan -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
